What Happened?

Category: Financial ManagementIssue: Non-compliance

The city gets money from PCSO (Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office) for specific purposes. The agreement says this money should be recorded as money held in trust (a liability), not as income. But in 2022, the city recorded over ₱1.6 million from PCSO as income, which made the city's income look higher than it should have been.
